Novine No. 1329 - Toronto, 22. Jun 2012.

I’m talking with Dan, who has been practicing hypnosis for many years.

What is Hypnosis?

Although hypnosis is as old as mankind, very little is known about it in everydaylife. It is well known that the ancient Greeks and Egyptians used it thousands of

years ago for therapeutic purposes.Hypnosis is a form of communication with

our inner self through our thoughts and feelings.This is why hypnosis is a totally natural and safemethod of change. It is also a pleasant methodthat helps us to get rid of deeply repressednegative feelings and replace them with goodand positive ones.

A hypnotist is only a guide that helps youreach that state of mind. You are the one whodecides to make it happen and decide for yourself whether you will cooperate withthe hypnotist or terminate the session.

It is one method that helps to bypass the conscious part of the mind by usingsuggestions to change the subconscious. The simplest explanation - you exchangenegativity in the subconscious with the positive thinking.

The success of hypnotherapy is always in your hands, since you can easily refusethe suggestions for change, even if you are in a deep state of hypnosis.

All preserved information from earliest childhood affects our thoughts, feelings,moods, behavior, relationships, life decisions, choice of partners, and all aspects oflife. Here are all our habits, whether good or bad, and all of our positive andnegative behavior. It is very difficult for the conscious mind to fight against this

behavior, because it is deeply rooted in the subconscious.Hypnosis is a state which aligns conscious and subconscious functions of our

mind and thus re-establishes control over bad habits. All your life is preserved inthe subconscious mind. If we want something to change, we have to get to thesubconscious mind and there make the change.

The use of hypnosis is one of the possible methods of communication withsubconscious. It is a very productive way to influence what our inner self thinksabout itself. Roughly speaking, our negative subconscious thoughts are replaced

with positive ones.

Tell me what hypnosis can help us with?

Hypnosis is used most to eliminate various emotional problems that createunpleasant feelings and bad habits. Knowing that your subconscious controls allfunctions of your body, it is entirely logical that hypnosis corrects most problemsfor which there is no physical or biologicalreason.

Hypnosis is successful in:- Control of stress, learning how to relax your

mind and body,- Increasing self-confidence, freedom from

shyness,- Letting you be free from a variety of fears,- Healing emotional wounds/traumas from the

past,-

Balancing of your emotional life,- Weight control and elimination of addictions.

How did you begin to do hypnosis?

I’ve been practicing hypnosis and other techniques such as NLP (Neuro-linguistic programming) and EFT Tapping (Emotional Freedom Technique) for


3/9

several years. These skills have interested me for a long time, but I did not haveenough time to master it.

Ten years ago I was involved in a serious car accident that completely changedmy life. After several years of therapy I decided to take my life and future in myown hands. Doctors have helped me as much as they could, but I figured that if Idid not do something, my life would fall into the abyss of chronic depression, and

we all know how depressed people end up.I studied everything that I could to help myself with only the 5% of power and

will that I had left. I started with EMDR (Eye movement desensitization andreprocessing) technique, NLP (Neuro-linguistic programming), EFT Tapping(Emotional Freedom Technique), visualization, and continued with hypnosis,guided meditation and “FasterEFT” technique.

I learned a lot of theory, studying the available literature and video courses fromthese areas. In order to also gain practical knowledge, I finished an NGH hypnosis

course in Toronto. I continued training in the U.S. and completed an advancedcourse in regression.

I became a member of the NGH (National Guild of Hypnotists), which is thelargest and oldest (founded in 1950) hypnotherapy membership organization in theworld with over 12,000 members in 72 countries. The technical term that has beengiven to me is: "NGH Certified Consulting Hypnotist."

In July, I’m going back to America for acourse in "FasterEFT" method that combines

in one package NLP, Hypnosis and EFT.

What is the cause of most of our

emotional problems?

Most housewives know what a pressurecooker is. If we put in water or food andhermetically close it and put it on the stove to

heat water or cook a dinner that meal will becooked very quickly and the pressure cookerwill start to produce noise and release steam.Imagine what would happen if we clog the

pot’s hole for the steam release. Probably the pressure cooker will explode very quickly anddo a great deal of damage around it.

Imagine for a moment, that we are the pot


4/9

and that our negative feelings and stress cause the cooking of our emotional being.In the course of life we are constantly learning, especially us men, not to show ournegative emotions, not to release them, so sooner or later most of us start to ignorethem when they occur.

They teach us that when a problem or its manifestation sends emotional signalsthat they want to tell us something, that we shouldn’t try to solve it, but to bury our

heads in the sand like an ostrich, and hope that nothing bad will happen, and thatthe emotional problem will be resolved by some miracle. In other words they teachus to hermetically close our emotional pot, which is contrary to all laws of physicsand common sense. And just as the pot will explode if it is completely closed, so wewill sooner or later explode too, because nobody has taught us that simple law of physics that our emotional pot or balloon has to be vented in a timely manner inorder not to explode.

It is a miracle that our emotional pot withstand, many years of constant

overheating, abuse and overheating, especially for us older people, who have stressof our long life over our head.

And when it comes to the emotional explosion of indignation, rage, anger andfrustration, almost no one tells us, that it was okay, but they blame us for it and saythat we must learn to control ourselves through anger management and to ignore allthe laws of common sense.

The guilt inflates us even more and leads to silent boiling. This suppression ofemotion is especially prevalent in North America, and in my opinion is the reason

why people break more often here than in some other countries where they canempty or release them more easily.One of the ways the old and the accumulated negative emotions and traumas of

life could be released is through guided meditation and hypnosis. If it is not done,they are accumulating even more over the life time.

Also, through meditation and self-hypnosis we achieve harmony of body andsoul, and thus balances our emotional life. By practicing self-hypnosis andmeditation you learn how to relax your mind and body. When encountering lif e’sinevitable problems you learn how to release steam / emotions whenever you want

and never let yourself explode and lose control over your life and gradually achievethe desired happiness, enjoyment in life and inner peace.

You mentioned that there are some everyday life situations

when we are in a state of hypnosis and that we are not aware

of.


5/9

We enter the same state "hypnosis" during professional massage and meditation, but nobody tells us that, so we are not afraid, and it happens many times during theday or when we watch something we love.

We all have been in hypnosis many times but we'renot aware of it. During the day we slide repeatedly intohypnosis; for example, in the first waking moment, just

before we fall asleep, when the imagination wanders tothe past or the future so that we are completely unawareof reality, when we look at an object and ignoreeverything around us, when we are engrossed inwatching a movie, when we drive cars and do notremember how we arrived somewhere, etc.

How does hypnosis solve problems?

Hypnosis is not a magic wand that can cure all diseases. It helps to be completelycleaned of accumulated negative emotions, trauma, and stress from the whole of ourlives, which are stored in the subconscious and thus solve the numerous problemsthat result from that.

We're not aware of what is preserved in the subconscious, and we see a resultthat hinders us in life. This is why we act--we do some things in life that we do notwant to and do not know why we behave that way.

By using hypnosis and guided meditation we establish the necessary

communication between conscious-logic and subconscious-emotions.Success depends primarily on how much you really want to change and are ready

to cooperate.Our life consists of an unlimited number of situations. Each situation causes

positive or negative emotions in our subconscious that affect the formation ofsubconscious behavior. For a healthy and successful life it is necessary to focus on positive feelings, but usually the opposite happens.

Emotions are like water. Good feelings such as joy and satisfaction flow through

us with no resistance, but negative emotions are dammed up and stored in our deepsubconscious, where they accumulate and continue to build up pressure in order to be felt and expressed.

Although we are not aware of these trapped emotions, they always overpower allour conscious thoughts and decisions. Such feelings make our lives unbearable untilwe can break free from them.

What Happens During a Hypno-Session?

The first session with a client consists of three parts.

1.) Talk before the session:During this period you will fill out the basic forms, and then I will explain whathypnosis is and how it will help you. Then we discuss the problem, itsmanifestation and a goal that you expect to accomplish through hypnosis.

2.) Hypnotic session:I'll introduce you gently into a deep state of mental and physical relaxation.You'll be very aware of just what is happening with you. We'll start with the process of creating healthy habits and emotions, which are necessary to achieveyour goal.

3.) Upon completion of the session:

You will remember everything that happened during the session, you will beextremely fresh and in a good mood. This is the time when we discuss yourimpressions and thoughts and make an appointment for our next session.

Why do you think hypnosis is shrouded in mystery?

Very few secrets stay secrets over time. Hypnosis is one of those secrets that has been seen as some miracle through history of mankind or has been intentionally

hidden from other people. Perhaps that is the reason why people still wronglyinterpret and imagine it as something mystical and magical.Hypnosis is a fast and completely natural method because it does not use any

drugs to achieve positive change! This is the reason why many people prefer thathypnosis stay a well-guarded secret!

Most of our emotional problems are hidden in the subconscious, and when weget signals that they want to tell us something, we are confused and do not knowwhat to do with them.

Most of us, instead of solving the problem, mask the problem through food,

alcohol, drugs, excessive work, buying unnecessary things, etc., which increasesconsumption and as one clever American hypnotist said, feeds the pockets ofcorporations.

This is probably the real reason that no one teaches us how to cope with variousemotional problems but instead rub their hands as their pockets get filled.

I know that some successful politicians, and I get the impression that manyothers, are widely using hypnosis but we do not know about it. Of course it is


7/9

beneficial to them that you are afraid of hypnosis, so that they can freely use it fortheir own hidden agendas.

Tell us some interesting experiences from your practice!

One person told me during the session: “I feel so awesome, It’s like being in

heaven and I want to stay longer in this state!” One doctor found out why he was having the problem of unstable character.

During the regression he learned that this was due to a childhood trauma.

Another client resolved trauma and fears of persecution from childhood,during a session in a Tim Horton’s.

What are the most common misconceptions for patients

about hypnosis?

- Fear of hypnosis!

The fear of hypnosis is the fear of losing control, because "many believe whilewe are in a state of hypnosis and sleep we are completely in the power of thehypnotist!" COMPLETELYWRONG!

Hypnosis simply has nothing to do with sleep. We are aware of everythingthat is happening around us, we hear more and feel better. In other words, the

concentration of all our senses is working 120%.Because of mental alertness, despite the physical relaxation, you always have

full control and can stop the trance whenever you want to.You have to allow hypnosis to happen, because without our will it is

impossible for us to be hypnotized, and during the hypnotic induction, clientshave to -- with complete trust (100%) -- follow the hypnotist and follow hisadvice and suggestions.

- How does it feel to be in hypnotized? Because we are mentally and physically relaxed we feel that our mind is

drifting away, thoughts are rare or disappear. Our consciousness is narrowed, but awake. We hear every word and sound, we can speak and we are aware ofthe time and place, but all our attention is voluntarily focused on thesuggestions.

It’s a very pleasantly relaxed state!


8/9

- I'm afraid that I will tell the hypnotist a secret.

The fear is unnecessary. You have full control over what you are saying.If you do not want to tell something you will not do it.

- Can anyone be hypnotized?

Yes, everyone can be hypnotized if s/he allows it. The greatest enemy is fearof hypnosis. If a person is afraid of hypnosis, it is impossible to hypnotize that person.

- What is self-hypnosis?

It is a state of hypnosis you can learn how to achieve (like meditation) and isachieved without anybody’s help when you learn it.

Plans for the future...

I am a very ambitious person. I was like that as an electrical engineer, computer programmer and teacher, occupations that because of my neck and back injuries Icannot do anymore, so I continue my journey towards uncovering the secrets of thehuman mind.

The more I get to know about it, the more amazed I'm with the knowledge thatthe brain is the most powerful computer ever made, a biological one.

Currently I am dedicated to studying meditation and "FasterEFT" and I have noidea where the desire for knowledge and desire to help people will take me.

Your treatments are free!

Treatments with better hypnotists are very expensive and cost up to $200 perhour. Many professional hypnotists that I have met so far are money driven andtheir knowledge is generally not too great. Honestly, I don’t know who I should goto for help if I need it.

My wish is to help as many people as possible to get rid of emotional problemsand to begin to enjoy life.

Believe me, most of our problems lie in the head.
